Tasted in a restaurant. Reticent, but Warm and inviting nose- lots of cherry/black cherry, green bell pepper, cedar - they all come across with a cool streak. It's initially full bodied, but it falls off in the mid-palate and finish, which is very dry. The tannins are obvious and slightly rough, and it seems a little short on acid. The coolness of the fruit shine through here but not enough to make me want to order more. 88

Definite tannins but not overbearing. Clear varietal notes. With food, ready to drink now.
